My OS BMX Racer (Oh no another Burner)

[DanStwo]

Hi guys...

Not sure if its in the right section, but I have just finished my OS BMX Racer for any Old School Races that happen up here in the North.

Considering I have bought some bits of guys on here I thought it is only fair to show you all.

Unfortunately its another burner    

Tange'd Frame Aero Pro (1984), it is more or less built to standard spec, with the exception of a few bits... oh and it needs a sticker set to finish it off... But to be honest I prefer it all chrome 

All in all though its ready to rock and roll, Any thoughts, suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.

















Cheers for reading

Wicked another racing burner  there's only one thing i would change depending how serious you are about racing and that would be the bars.......it'll ride a lot nicer with some straighter bars like G.T. or something  or you could just tell me to F**k ooof

Cheers Zippy 

Spillers... I completley agree... I have a 90s mongoose with striaght bars and its a lot easier to ride... I am going to see what I can get hold of... eventually. Thanks for the comments though

cracking looking build - i agree with the bars comment - get yourself a set of S&M Slams - same dimensions as the GT pro bars and half the price available in chrome to. Got a set of Slam Lite's on my team rep and there the monkeys.

I hope this is not the start of the Burnerworld plot to take over the world OS racing far too many burners around these parts now

seriously though the bike looks cool, and spillers is bang on about the bars, perhaps a long reach stem as well, especially if your over 5 foot tall

haha  to right be scared of BW... lol Thanks for the kind words... To be honest I am 5ft 9inch and the bike is perfect as is... I did a few mile on it yesterday and was fine... normally on my mongoose I have a aching back after about 10 mins..

I am serious looking into the S&M bars. 

Lovely looking bike Dan

dan there worth the money mate and if you can get the slam xlt's a bit lighter and still with a full warranty - got mine from alans i think, Paid about £47 for them  Mind you if you can get a 2nd hand pair they might be a bit cheaper - seen them on here and on the bay for a bit less - make sure you dont get cut down ones - sorry if i'm teaching you to suck eggs mate 

Heres what they look like fitted

[wildwood1971]

heres a set on the bay mate.
